Affiliate disclosure
Plainly, how this site makes money and what that means for what you read here.
Last updated 23 October 2026.
The short version
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may be paid a commission by the retailer. You pay exactly the same price either way — the commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket.
We tell you this before you read a page that contains those links, not afterwards, and not only in the footer.
What we have not done
This matters more than the commission does, so we want to be blunt about it.
We have not bought, tested, measured or ridden the equipment described on this site. There is no test rig, no sample pool and no long-term wear testing behind these pages. Where you see a description of how a type of equipment behaves, it is drawn from manufacturer specifications and from the generally accepted practice of the slacklining community — not from our own trials.
That is why this site publishes buying guides rather than reviews. A guide explains how to choose. A review claims to have tested. We do the first, and we will not pretend to do the second.
If that ever changes — if we do buy and use a piece of equipment — the page will say so explicitly, including how long we used it and in what conditions.
What an affiliate link does not buy
- No manufacturer or retailer can pay to be described more favourably.
- No manufacturer or retailer reviews or approves our pages before publication.
- Commission rates do not determine the order in which options are presented.
- We do not accept payment to remove criticism or to add a product to a guide.
Where the links are
Any page carrying affiliate links shows a disclosure box at the top of the page, above the content it applies to. Individual links are to retailers' own product pages.
Your rights are unaffected
Buying through an affiliate link does not change your contract with the retailer. Your statutory rights, the retailer's returns policy and any manufacturer warranty all work exactly as they would if you had gone to the retailer directly. If something goes wrong with an order, your dispute is with the retailer, not with us.
Why we disclose this way
UK guidance from the Competition and Markets Authority and the Advertising Standards Authority is that commercial relationships must be disclosed clearly, prominently and before the reader engages with the content — not hidden in small print. We would rather over-disclose than leave you guessing.
Questions
If anything here is unclear, or you think a page is not disclosing properly, please get in touch and tell us. We would rather hear it from you than not.
